| Korea Foundation's Reference Materials Distribution Program |
| |
The Korea Foundation provides Korea-related materials published in domestic or foreign countries to libraries and major organizations overseas in order to support Korean Studies scholars and students. For this purpose, The Korea Foundation operates this program under two tracks: the Regular Distribution Program and Distribution by Request Program.
The Regular Distribution Program is available once a year. Every year, the Korea Foundation provides a carefully selected list of reference materials to each library. When a library files a request, the Foundation provides materials after careful review.
The Distribution by Request Program allows a library to request materials that are not included in the list. The Foundation provides requested materials after a review.

The provided materials include the fields of: Korean language text books, linguistics and literature, history, religion, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, economics, politics, international relations, art history, music, and performing arts. Media include books, audiovisual materials, and multi-media materials in Korean, English and other foreign languages.
Currently, the Korea Foundation supports about 450 organizations in 70 countries overseas.

Regular Distribution |
| |
Under Regular Distribution, registered members may request selected materials from Resources for Korean Studies: A Selected Bibliography for Regular Distribution. This list is revised every year by the Korea Foundation to provide updated materials.
The selection list includes Korea-related materials in Korean or foreign languages published in domestic or foreign countries. The list includes audiovisual and multi-media materials and provides brief bibliographical information for over 250 titles in about 10 different fields. Members receive the list every year in June. The request period may change from year to year. Members should log on to the exclusive members-only page and check our request period and selection list.

Members may request materials at any time of the year, even if the materials are not included in the regular distribution list. You can search for titles and other information on booksonkorea.org. You may also request materials that are not registered on booksonkorea.org by submitting bibliographic information. Members may request materials by this method up to twice a year. The total cost of the requested materials should not exceed three million won each time. |
